Yes, the DVD will be in stores in a month. Get your shades ready.
Now in case you’re wondering what’s been going on in Trizzyland since the last update, basically we finished the U2 shows with Kanye, then we did a gig in Trinidad. Ya mon.
Touch the Sky tour continues
The last update was on Halloween, this one is on Thanksgiving. I promise I won’t wait till Hannukah for the next one.
Right after the last update we did our 2 shows in New York at the Madison Square Garden Theatre. My man Tim Barber took pictures of me those 2 days, and you can check them out at: www.tinyvices.com/ATRAK. While you’re at it you should check out his website, he’s an amazing photographer. I also got to catch up with big brother Dave while I was in town, and he came to see both shows.
Call for submissions, MTV, Vancouver
Extra extra! Call for submissions!
I’m starting to plan a North American tour in February to promote the release of my DVD. I’m looking for somebody to do visuals on this tour. Obviously this would entail being on the road, I’d say for a good 3-4 weeks. And I’m looking for someone who understands the aesthetic that I’ve been working with in my projects so far, who has experience doing visuals for live shows and who can bring lots of creativity to the show. Please email me your submissions (info@djatrak.com). Thanks.
Now back to the diary… The MTV $2 Bill show was off the chizzain. I heard that they’re already airing ads for it on TV. I don’t want to spoil the surprises before the broadcast but we had some very special and entertaining guests that night. Later on we stopped by the Guitar Center Spin-Off, where Common and Kweli were performing, and Diplo and Madlib were spinning.
MTV and tour wrap-up
MTV, here I come! I just found out that my piece is airing this evening on Direct Effect (somewhere between 7:30p and 8p)! And after that it will run on MTV News for the rest of the evening and all through tomorrow, on MTV, MTV2 and MTVU. Suffering succotash!
The tour is officially over. Shout out to all my friends who came out to see me at these shows. I’ll update the show dates very soon. I’ve got a bunch of more gigs with Kanye lined up, and of course some of my own shows as well… so stay tuned!
Hurricanes, bowling and more.
Right after my last update, we spent a week in Florida in the heat of hurricane season. I remember one day we almost got hit; we left Jacksonville in the morning to go to Tallahassee, and later that day Jacksonville lost power and had tornado warnings and all sorts of funky stuff. Meanwhile we all went bowling in Tallahassee. I hit a strike on my first try, which is a miracle because I’ve never bowled over 100.
